I am guessing you mean 'The Mikado' by Gilbert and Sullivan. This is a comic Opera and their ninth of fourteen operatic collaborations. It opened on 14th March 1885. By setting the opera in Japan Gilbert was able to satirize British politics and institutions more freely by disguising them as Japanese.

What is the Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan?
The Mikado is an operetta written by Gilbert and Sullivan. It opened on 14 March 1885, in London, where it ran at the Savoy Theatre for 672 performances, which was the second longest run for any work of musical theatre and one of the longest runs of any theatre piece up to that time. Before the end of 1885, it was estimated that, in Europe and America, at least 150 companies were producing the opera. The Mikado remains the most frequently performed Savoy Opera, and it is especially popular with amateur and school productions. The work has been translated into numerous languages and is one of the most frequently played musical theatre pieces in history.Setting the opera in Japan, an exotic locale far away from Britain, allowed Gilbert to satirise British politics and institutions more freely by disguising them as Japanese. Gilbert used foreign or fictional locales in several operas, including The Mikado, Princess Ida, The Gondoliers, Utopia, Limited and The Grand Duke, to soften the impact of his pointed satire of British institutions.
